New - RBR850 / RBS850 Firmware Version 4.6.8.2 Released
New Features: 04/27/2022
Supports Smart Parental Control (SPC)
Removes the remote management feature from the router web interface (if disabled at time of update) to improve router security.
...
Finally updated firmware on satellites and router to 4.6.8.2, waited for it to finish loading before reboot. Wifi and ethernet came back and internet connectivity was good, but management interface/page never came back up. I gave it like 10 minutes and then did a power cycle (as advised in OP). Wifi, ethernet, internet working... but still no management interface/page.
Hit the router with NMAP and the only ports listening are 53 (DNS) and 5000 (UPnP).
Guessing I need to factory reset and see if that brings it back? 😞
Yup. Factory reset brought it back, restoring backup settings was simple. Everything seems to be working now - will report back if there are more oddities.
Ya I'm going to recommend that a factory reset be performed and setup from scratch after loading this version of FW if users are seeing problems after its' loaded.
Glad you got it working.
